The tour was very hands-on, from visiting the farm and local market to learning, tasting and cooking the most delicious meal together. We had a few different dietary requirements, all of which were catered for perfectly. The banana boat ride was a bonus and so much fun. Without a doubt, our favourite tour of the trip.
